Dining in Sault Ste. Marie

Bring your appetite when you visit the Sault area, because you’ll want to sample some of the local specialties. Try a pasty (pronounced past-ee) and get both a culinary and history lesson. Pasties were introduced to the Upper Peninsula by Cornish miners in the 19th century. Whether doused in gravy, ketchup, or eaten plain, these pastry-covered meat pies are sure to please. For those with a hankering for fish, Lake Superior Whitefish is the specialty in many area restaurants. Caught fresh and prepared in variety of ways, Whitefish is a mild fish with fantastic flavor.

If ethnic foods whet your appetite, area restaurants specialize in Mexican, Greek, Chinese and Thai foods. Old-fashioned drive-in restaurants feature unbeatable burgers and pizza, plain or gourmet, and can be found at several eateries. Healthy fare is offered at most restaurants and a cold beverage is never hard to find.

Sit down, relax, and enjoy!
